The Smelling of Tar GUNDAM of Jetan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jeddak Odysseus Carter with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 14.778 billion Jetanese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thark. The average income tax rate is 54.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Jetanese economy, worth a remarkable 1,912 trillion Jetanian Marks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 129,425 Jetanian Marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, the acceptance of acupuncture and other alternative therapies has needled the scientific community, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, and bins outnumber trees in city parks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Jetan's national animal is the Thoat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jetan is ranked 7,936^th in the world and 14^th in Esquarium for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 7,009.14 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
